WINTER 2014: BILL PAXTON BECOMES AN AGENT "OF S.H.I.E.L.D."

Agent Coulson is about to get a blast from the past when a former colleague shows up on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

Big Love's Bill Paxton will be joining the comics-inspired drama later this winter. Paxton will portray high-ranking Agent John Garrett, an old colleague of Coulson's who is miserable sitting behind a desk and being away from all the action.

Garrett soon has his desires fulfilled when he is thrown back into the field with May and Ward.

Paxton is slated to appear in at least four episodes beginning late February/early March.

FALL 2013: 'ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND' WILL GET A LITTLE WHOOPI

ABC's struggling spin-off is getting some additional star power. Mr. Rabbit is about to get some major Whoopi.

Actress and current co-host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg, has signed up to guest-voice Mrs. Rabbit on Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. The furry missus will appear in the current storyline and flashbacks in the show's eighth episode. Goldberg will star opposite series regular John Lithgow (Third Rock from the Sun and Dexter baddie). We expect some sass and backtalk from Mr. Rabbit's significant other.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland airs Thursdays at 8 pm on ABC.
